so I'm going to be 37 weeks this weekend which means I will be considered full term! I was okay'd to try natural ways to start labor I.e. spicy foods and sex, do any of you guys have other methods I could try!? I'm ready for my princess to be here!!! :)
I'm in the same boat! I'm ready and I've seen walking, massages, acupuncture, and spicy foods (a few others I'd rather not try) At the end of the day I think it's still up to the baby :)
Early term: Babies born at 37 weeks and 38 weeks

my sister started at 37w with her first baby and had her right at the due date, with her second she started at 35w and had her youngest at just over 38w. I will be starting between 35 and 36w, try curb walking, swings, jump jacks and raspberry leaf tea. there is also a primrose thing im not sure about it though.
